Availability of Resources for Effective Teaching and Learning of Biology in Public Secondary Schools in Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State
Abstract
The study was conducted to assess the resources available for effective teaching and learning of Biology in Senior Secondary schools in Abeokuta South Local Government area of Ogun State. It attempted determining the number of qualified and experienced science teachers available in schools, and extent of use of instructional material in schools within the study area. Nine research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 200 students and 20 teachers from 10 schools out of 18 public secondary schools in Abeokuta South Local Government area of Ogun State for appropriate sampling. Datawere obtained through the use well-structured questionnaire. This study adopted descriptive statistics, while correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses through the use of Statistical tool for social sciences (SPSS)23. Findings revealed that there is significant relationship between teacher’s availability and teaching or learning of biology in secondary schools (R2 =0.785** p<0.005). The result revealed that there is positive and significant relationship between effectively utilized laboratory methods/resources in teaching or learning of biology in secondary schools (R2 =0.847** p<0.005). The findings showed that there were qualified and experienced teachers, but schools lacked adequate instructional resources for effective teaching and learning process; it is therefore recommended that there is need for the government, parents, teachers and other stakeholders to join hands in procuring necessary resources in schools. Also, trainings should be regularly organized for teachers to keep them abreast of modern trends in Biology .
